Everyday AI Revolution
Seven Days a Week and Twice on Sunday
Good to be back. Do let me know what would you like me to write about!
But why do I ask for ideas?
Well, One, I watched Adolescence and figured out that our generation is now completely out of touch with the younger ones like never before. Two, I read a NYT article on The Gen X Career Meltdown which paints a rather gloomy picture of Gen Xers in creative fields.
Gen X creatives, now in their 50s, face a career crisis as their once-valued skills become obsolete due to rapid technological shifts. Industries like media, advertising, and photography have drastically changed, leaving many jobless or underemployed. The rise of digital content, social media, and AI has diminished the demand for traditional expertise. This upheaval coincides with rising living costs and inadequate retirement savings, creating financial strain. Many Gen X-ers are forced to reinvent themselves, seeking new careers or adapting to the gig economy, highlighting the challenges of aging in a rapidly evolving job market.
The creative industry, once a playground for creative souls, had morphed into a ruthless arena of fleeting trends and AI-generated content. More on this later in the next section!

During the Week, Elon Musk announced his move to merge xAI with X in a multi-billion-dollar transaction which marks a pivotal moment in the AI arms race. Musk, who once co-founded OpenAI, is now leading xAI to compete directly with tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Meta. His vision? To embed AI into our daily lives, shaping the way we work, communicate, and make decisions—seven days a week and twice on Sunday.
Artificial intelligence is no longer an abstract concept reserved for researchers and developers. It’s here, deeply integrated into our routines, from smart assistants optimizing workflows to AI-driven healthcare insights. Musk’s Grok chatbot, now embedded in X, is just one example of AI’s growing influence. Meanwhile, his massive supercomputer project, Colossus, is set to push AI’s computational power even further, raising both excitement and concerns about its environmental and societal impact.
The reality is clear: AI is not just an occasional tool—it’s becoming a constant presence, shaping everything from how businesses operate to how individuals manage their time and decisions. Whether it’s automating tasks at work, enhancing creativity, or streamlining communication, AI is working behind the scenes, seven days a week and twice on Sunday.
Yet, with this rapid integration comes responsibility. As AI accelerates, ethical concerns, sustainability issues, and questions of control loom large. We must understand the profound ways AI is influencing our lives, the opportunities it presents, and the challenges we must navigate. Welcome to the AI-driven world—where the future is unfolding faster than ever.

Over the Weekend, we were in a major celebratory mode. Whether customary Ramazan Food Walk or savouring more Haleem or even prepping for Navratri, it was fun and happiness all around.
Though the weather is turning hotter every day but we are still catching up on our daily runs with PeeranCheruvu runners. And what’s life but flitting from one trend to another.
Other than just creating more trendy things like Studio Ghibli , AI is revolutionizing health and endurance training by providing data-driven insights to optimize performance and recovery. From personalized training plans to real-time biometrics monitoring, AI helps athletes track progress, prevent injuries, and enhance efficiency. Wearable technology powered by AI analyzes heart rate variability, sleep patterns, and fatigue levels, ensuring smarter training adjustments. Machine learning models predict peak performance windows and recommend nutrition and hydration strategies tailored to individual needs. For endurance athletes, AI acts as a virtual coach, refining pacing, optimizing workload distribution, and improving recovery protocols, making training safer, more effective, and tailored to long-term performance goals.
So, whether in work or in pleasure, AI is here to stay- Seven Days a Week and Twice on Sunday.
Here is wising you a Happy Ugadi and Eid.
I Love You

It looks like a gender issue on the surface. But it seems more a class issue too. I feel it is the decades of what mindless feminism has done to the other species. I am not justifying the actions of the character and men committing crimes. But such thoughts and actions from both the genders will take us centuries away from creating a world of equality. My two cents!
